Score a 1080p gaming PC for less than $1,000 right now, fitted with Nvidia or AMD GPUs

Two gaming PCs capable of 1080p gameplay have dropped below $1,000, a price that's hard to beat in the current market, thanks to sales at Best Buy and Walmart.

Score a 1080p gaming PC for less than $1,000 right now, fitted with Nvidia or AMD GPUs

Walmart and Best Buy are currently offering budget gaming PCs with Nvidia or AMD GPUs for under $1,000. At Walmart, you can find the ABS Cyclone M Aqua with an RTX 5060 for $999. This machine comes with an Intel Core i5-14400F processor, 16GB of DDR4-3200 memory, a 1TB SSD, and an additional 2TB SSD. The RTX 5060 allows for high frame rates at 1080p, and the DLSS feature provides access to Nvidia's advanced technologies.

At Best Buy, the CyberPowerPC Gaming Master Desktop is available for $999.99. This system features the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F CPU, AMD Radeon RX 9060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. While the RTX 5060 in the ABS machine is slightly more powerful, the AMD RX 9060 still offers solid performance for 1080p gaming. Both options provide great value for money and are likely to be discontinued soon.
